that intersection is a perfect example of what happens when developers are allowed to run amok and break all the rules. That traffic light has zero visibility until you round the corner then its suddenly on top of you. Not defending anyone here- just pointing out that if we continue to let developers do this we will have more accidents.

The only solutions to our traffic nightmares seem to be to add more traffic lights, which slows down traffic even more and encourages incidents such as this. You can't make it across town any more without wasting almost an hour's worth of time, gas, and wear and tear because of all these foolish lights.

That being said, anyone who runs a traffic light and injures another person should be charged with vehicular assault.

I'm consistant, since I approach this issue from the standpoint of accountibility. The city is accountible to come up with better solutions than more lights. A few lights in key places is helpful, while uncoordinated scores of lights just adds to the chaos.

However, any clown that blows through a red light and hurts someone deserves to be hauled out of their car and get their face kicked.

However, since that's neither legally or politically correct, accountibility will have to remain a legal one, and, imnsho, it should not be a simple traffic citation.

True. The original intent of that road was an expressway bypass for the congested Federal Rd. First, the government let developers add the intersection for the corporate park, now they've allowed the intersection for the Lowes/Loews shopping area. With all the traffic lights, turning lanes, and additional traffic, the purpose of the road, and its safety have been defeated.

People only care about themselves and getting where they need to be. It's the Fairfield County mentality. Nevermind that you might k-ill someone or permanently alter their lives by your reckless actions.

Tell me how many of us have never day dreamed at one time or another while driving? And maybe had a close call or two. Not ignoring the fact that someone was hurt badly and I wish her well. But what part of the word accident makes you a bad person? This easily could have been you and I. Unfortunatley Accidents happen.

What's wrong with charging some jerk who breaks the law and thinks his time is more important than everybody else's with vehicular assualt? People need to grow up and raslize that their actions have consequences.

Your rules and laws blind you from thinking rationally. You're one of those who come to the internet and complain about illegal immigrants on a regular basis. That says a lot.
